I mean, good on him, are you kidding me? Fantastic hire by the Jazz!

I knew Lindsey could somehow pluck an assistant coach ready to be head coach in the NBA. And he doesn’t get as much publicity as Mike Longabardi.

Fri, 06 Jun 2014 19:53:45 +0000http://saltcityhoops.com/?p=11783#comment-94253Quin Snyder has topped my list of (realistic) desired head coaches since this time last year when I heard his name mentioned peripherally in regard to several vacancies. If not for his very public fall from grace, he’s the type of coach the Jazz almost certainly could not get, someone almost perfectly crafted to captain the Lakers.

He’s a former prodigy, clearly brilliant on and off the court, with coaching success at every level of basketball and whose coaching pedigree includes working under Coach K, Larry Brown, Doug Collins, and Ettore Messina while coaching with R. C. Buford (the Spurs newly celebrated GM of the year). At 32 he was hired over Bill Self and John Calipari. He’s renowned for his offensive understanding and diversity as well as his energy and passion for the game, but he’s also a proven teacher with outstanding success at player development at multiple levels. He’s coached in the NCAA, the Development League, Russia’s premier league, and the NBA, and his teams have frequently outperformed expectation. He’s won coaching awards both in the NCAA and D-League. He’s even a marketing dream given his good looks and charisma, and he’s only 47, even after all that’s happened.

The only reason the Jazz even have a shot at hiring him is his public disgrace and the resulting change in values he experienced after that. He wants a job where it really is about the game, where he isn’t asked to be the superstar coach, just the head coach. Utah fits him, and he would be an incredible head coach for the Jazz. Fingers crossed he’s the guy.
